Patent number: 9026931Abstract: Technologies are described herein for implementing a cross-browser drag-and-drop library. The drag-and-drop library creates a draggable object corresponding to a drag source element and a droppable object corresponding to a drop target element defined in a webpage. The draggable object and droppable object are each assigned a link key value. A user-defined data structure populated with data regarding the drag source element may also be assigned to the draggable object. A browser event indicating a drag-and-drop operation between the drag source and the drop target is intercepted, and the drag-and-drop library determines whether the link key value assigned to the corresponding draggable and droppable objects are the same. If the link key values are the same, the drag-and-drop library generates an event associated with the droppable object to facilitate an application-related operation associated with the drag-and-drop operation using the data in the user-defined data structure.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2011Date of Patent: May 5, 2015Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Qinjia Liu Hackett, Mary Sugino David, Zhenguang Chen, Harsimrat Singh Thukral

Publication number: 20150052465Abstract: Visual feedback indicating that a graphical element is included in a selection boundary prior to a commitment of a selection is provided. Visual feedback may be displayed indicating which graphical element(s) may be selected once a lasso selection operation is completed. That is, the visual feedback is provided while the selection is being made. Accordingly, a user may be able to see, prior to commitment of the selection, which graphical elements may be selected. The visual feedback may include various visual indications, such as providing a border or highlighting around selected graphical elements, shading or coloring selected graphical elements, animating selected graphical elements, providing an indication of a number of selected graphical elements, providing an indication of progressive disclosure of selection of a graphical element, or providing an indication of a graphical element's bounding box.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 16, 2013Publication date: February 19, 2015Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Daniel John Altin, Sarah Morgan Ferraro

Patent number: 8959434Abstract: [PROBLEMS TO BE SOLVED] An HTML object or the like is easily uploaded to an outer information providing system. [MEANS FOR SOLVING THE PROBLEMS] A processing means of a terminal device adds a display area for displaying a web page to a part of a window of a predetermined program, receives the web page corresponding to a web page identifier read out from a memory means from an outer information providing system and displays it on the display area. When an object dragged by an input means is dropped at an HTML object of the web page displayed on the display area, an upload path associated with the HTML object is read out from the web page, data corresponding to the dropped object are acquired from a process of the dropping origin program and the acquired data are transmitted to make a memory means of the outer information providing system corresponding to the read-out upload path store the data.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 2007Date of Patent: February 17, 2015Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Takeshi Fujita, Tsutomu Kawachi, Keiichi Ogawa

Patent number: 8957900Abstract: Animation coordination system and methods are provided that manage animation context transitions between and/or among multiple applications. A global coordinator can obtain initial information, such as initial graphical representations and object types, initial positions, etc., from initiator applications and final information, such as final graphical representations and object types, final positions, etc. from destination applications. The global coordination creates an animation context transition between initiator applications and destination applications based upon the initial information and the final information.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2010Date of Patent: February 17, 2015Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Bonny Lau, Song Zou, Wei Zhang, Brian Beck, Jonathan Gleasman, Pai-Hung Chen

Patent number: 8959446Abstract: When a plurality of overlapping windows are displayed on a display screen, each window is displayed in a convenient state for a user operation, thereby reducing the load of the user operation. Upon detecting an object drag operation, an information processing apparatus displays the window of a predetermined application, which is displayed behind another window, as the topmost window. At this time, the window of the predetermined application reduces its size or changes the display position so as not to interfere with the other window displayed in front of it.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2009Date of Patent: February 17, 2015Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Satoshi Igeta
